Shrimp scampi in a delicious butter and white wine sauce with aromatic herbs are cooked in a foil packet alongside a side of linguine. The pasta is pre-boiled until half-done, so it cooks at the same time as the shrimp. All ingredients are laid out on sheets of heavy-duty foil, wrapped, and grilled. A wonderful, complete dish with sophisticated Mediterranean flavors, perfect for backyard cooking. It takes no more than half an hour to prepare. Serve with a glass of dry white wine and enjoy.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat the grill to medium heat. Line the work surface with four 2-inch sheets of heavy-duty foil. Bring 6 cups of salted water to a boil in a large, deep skillet.
Add the linguine to the boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until halfway cooked through, about 5 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to a large bowl, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and toss well. Add 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water and toss well (reserve the remaining cooking water). Add the shrimp, garlic, lemon zest, oregano, red pepper flakes, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt and toss.

Divide the pasta evenly between sheets of foil. Sprinkle with wine and 1/2 cup of the pasta water (for two parcels). Coat each portion with 1 tablespoon (15 g) of butter. Bring the two short ends of the foil together and fold them in half; then fold the sides over to seal, leaving a little space inside for steam to circulate.
Grill the parcels, seam-side up, until puffed and the shrimp and pasta are thoroughly steamed, 10 to 12 minutes.
Carefully unfold the foil and add the arugula; toss until slightly wilted. Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve with lemon wedges.

Note

You need to pre-cook the pasta before putting it into the parcels. Cook it for about half the time recommended on the package.
